teledyne vrs the ai cells vrs the buds

designing a "system using proprietary cells" that have direct replacements is just another profit center for the company. I have tested the teledynes and the ai's in the pot for over 500 hrs and so far have 68 hrs of water time on them, using a mixed set. the ai's have a slightly faster responce time on average, and have a little better temp comps. that said both cells are fine for the job at hand. my suggestion is buy the newest cells you can get for the cheapest price. but if you send your unit to ap for service with aftermarket cells or without cells, they will require them to be replaced.
